The name as well as the design of this amazing metro station is a reference to Futurism and its prominent Russian exponent Vladimir Mayakovsky. Considered to be one of the most beautiful in the system, it is a fine example of pre-World War II Stalinist Architecture and one of the most famous Metro stations in the world. It is most well known for its 34 ceiling mosaics depicting "24 Hours in the Land of the Soviets." During World War II, it was used as a command post for Moscow's anti-aircraft regiment. The station was built as part of the second stage of the Moscow Metro expansion, opening on 11 September 1938. No trip to Moscow is complete without taking the metro. Among all the beautifully decorated stations, Mayakovskaya is an impressive one. This one is a must see.

The nicest metro station in Moscow

That is hands down the most beautiful station of the Moscow Metro. Certainly one of my favorites. The vestibule has some quotes from Mayakovsky written on the ceiling. The only downside would probably be the lack of benches. At least it's spacious enough.

One of the prettier metro stations.

This is probably the fanciest metro station in Moscow. It is definitely worth a visit.
